Tributes have poured in on social media for a lifelong Kwara United fan who died after a brief illness three days ago.
Alhaji Ahmad Bolaji Ibrahim, popularly known and called KARAMO. The Imman of Ojodu Mosque, Ojaiya Ilorin, who died three days ago after brief illness remained a loyal and unalloyed fan of the club till his last breath. He always asked for the result of every match, to sustain his life, I had to tell him lies, when the result was not favourable.
Alhaji Ahmad Bolaji Ibrahim had been a dedicated fan of the Harmony Boys from time immemorial; since Kwara Water Cooperation till the team metamorphosed to Kwara United Football Club, he was described and remained till death ‘an emotionally fantastic and loyal fan.’
Alhaji Ahmad Bolaji Ibrahim is one of the known prominent and dedicated founder of Kwara United Fans Club, the first missioner of the State team, a man who has emotional attachment to the State darling team, gentle to a fault and always ready and willing to go on praying about for the team without asking for gratification.
Everyone at Kwara United Football Club is saddened to learn of the passing of lifelong fan Alhaji KARAMO. May he rest in peace
The Harmony Boys paid their last respects to the season-ticket holder after news of the tragic death of the affable fan broke into the thin air in the main bowl of Kwara State Stadium before an epic match against Abia Warriors in match day 12 of 2019/2020 NPFL.
The Harmony Boys showed the stuff they are made of by proving the pundits wrong and incontrovertibly turned a mourning moment to a joyous celebration atmosphere, tragic comedy scenario you call it. With a massive win, 2-0 thrashing and bashing of Abia Warriors, the Harmony Boys immortalized KARAMO and wished him eternal repose.
Kwara United Football Fans Club will honour Alhaji Ahmad Bolaji Ibrahim [KARAMO] life according to his family wishes. When details are available we will inform you.
